Serbia, China woo coach Stanojevic for national job
Print Edition
Serbia wants Aleksandar Stanojevic as national team coach but knows it faces competition from China, where he has been working for the last two seasons, the Serbian FA President Tomislav Karadzic said yesterday.
Stanojevic won a Serbian league and CFA cup double with Partizan Belgrade in 2011 before heading to China. There he pulled Dalian Aerbin from the relegation zone to a fifth-place finish in 2012 before taking Beijing Guo’an to third in the league and reaching the cup semifinals in 2013.
“We are very close to starting talks with Stanojevic but we understand that he also has an offer from the Chinese national team,” Karadzic told Belgrade media.
“We hope the situation regarding his status will be clear next week and if it is we will get the talks underway. We haven’t ruled out other candidates too but Stanojevic tops the list.”
Karadzic conceded that Stanojevic emerged as the prime candidate after they made futile attempts to lure back Sinisa Mihajlovic. He quit the national team to take over at Sampdoria after failing to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Mihajlovic joined the Italian side in November and has since pulled it out of the bottom three in Serie A.
